But as we learned earlier this month, Kirsten Dunst's rumored fling with Ryan Gosling suggests Dunst isn't a fan of following rules. And according to today's NY Post, Dunst has some very unique and romantic ideas when it comes to taking her new man out on the town:

Sources say Dunst...has been schlepping her All Good Things co-star, Ryan Gosling, to 12-step meetings.
Swoon! Even more intriguing are Dunst's rumored grooming techniques when it comes to keeping her new guy interested, detailed after the jump.

It seems Kirsten's stint in rehab hasn't done much to improve her longtime habit of appearing in public looking like a combination of Maggie Gyllenhaal in Sherrybaby and a skinnier version of Charlize Theron in Monster. According to another NYP source who recently saw the actress at a restaurant in New York, "She looked like crap, had greasy hair and kept wiping her nose with a Kleenex" [Ed. Note - What's wrong with Kleenex? Would they have preferred her to use her shirt sleeve?]. And as we can see in the photos above from last year, it sounds like Dunst's junkie aesthetic hasn't gone away quite yet. Perhaps the next time she drags Gosling along to another AA meeting, he might suggest adding a 13th step to her personal program: stepping into the shower.

<![CDATA[Whatever's Going On South Of Gwyneth Paltrow's Ankles Is Our New Greatest Fear]]> Though Gwyneth Paltrow hasn't done much acting lately (aside from announcing over and over that she's taking a break from it), she's still managing to make headlines for her time-tested preference for bizarre fashion. Most recently she's taken a page from her infamous Oscar goth screwup and picked a pair of tarantula-like black sandals to wear to a charity event in New York last night. A closer look at the half-boot half-sandal contraptions after the jump.

gwynandboots.jpg
Scratch that. These are part boot, part sandal, part stiletto and part torture chamber. Nevermind how she's managing to stand up in those things, we're more worried about who they're going to consume for dinner. We suppose giving up acting to take care of her kids was a noble move (however self-important), but with toys like this around the house, she might want to start baby-proofing each and every one of her walk-in closets.

<![CDATA[Jamie Lynn Spears Spends 17th Birthday At Wal-Mart, And We Forgive Her]]> Just as we were about to laugh a little bit at Juno Lynn Spears' decision to spend her 17th birthday at a Ruby Tuesday restaurant and going on a shopping spree at Wal-Mart, we remembered back to our 17th birthday and stopped laughing. We were in college, in suburbia, and spent the day in class, then at some chain restaurant with our boyfriend, and probably at the movies in the mall. How quickly we forget that Jamie Lynn is still just a kid! Just because she's grown up before our eyes and starred in a hit show and, well, gotten pregnant, doesn't mean the girl shouldn't abandon her awkward late teen years and all the mall-filled nights that go with them. More details on our favorite real-life Juno and her day of kicking "16 And Pregnant!!!" headlines to the curb, after the jump.

The truth is, we secretly wish our birthdays were still spent more in the fashion of Jamie Lynn's, including one of this very lovey-dovey dinners that gets noticed by other diners. As a source told People, "They were like a little adult couple, very low-key." Like an adult couple? Ahem, notice anything adult just above the waistline? In any case, JL and fiance Casey Aldridge, a very adult-sounding 18 years old, headed to the Wal-Mart near his house in Mississippi after dinner to curiously look at sleeping bags. We suggest Jamie Lynn check with big sis Britney, who's been through this twice before. Britney may have boarded a few yachts, but we don't think she was planning any camping trips at 8 months.

<![CDATA[Help Answer Joe Simpson's Prayers]]>

boomp3.com

Can somebody in America please buy one of my daughters' albums? Please? Or at least do a little more than pretend to like them or go a step beyond liking them for various reasons of irony? Do you know how hard it is to make the change between the manager who just got off the phone with the record label to the cool dad who has to the break news that one of them is about to get dropped from their label? It's hard, real hard. Let alone hiding these irrational fears that I'm going to get fired by my own daughters? Can you imagine that being fired by your own flesh and blood? It could happen. The constant threat that keeps me up at night. That and Ryan Seacrest changing his phone number without him giving me the new number.

Sometimes, I think that Jamie Spears (you know, Britney's dad) has it much easier than me. He's doing a tremendous job over there, but it's pretty simple. Just tell her to stop spending all that money, put on some panties and hang out with her kids whenever she can. And then he's got Juno Lynn over in Louisiana, just hanging out, getting ready to pop out that kid and attempting to be a normal teen with a child. Not me, man. If I was Juno Lynn's dad, I'd be telling her to hit the gym a couple hours after birth. She's gotta get that Nickelodeon body back before her show starts back up.

I'm in a dual position with my kids. I have to love and care for them, but I also have to tell them not to do certain things. You know I had to tell Ashlee the other day to tone down looking like the slithered out afterbirth of a Nylon magazine photo shoot with that makeup wearing hobbit of a boyfriend she has. I'm happy for her as a dad, but as a manger, I'm little concerned about her public image. We have to sell records to Middle America and a lot of those kids still shop at Hot Topic. We can't alienate them too much. With Jessica, it's a bit easier. Don't go to any more Cowboys games and keep on giving what every body wants, a bit of ass cleavage and the regular kind, too.

An over-caffeinated Miley Cyrus showed the throng of photographers that follow her every move some new and interesting dance moves that she recently learned from some videos she saw on YouTube. Cyrus told the photogs that she hopes to incorporate these moves into her next tour, which just might launch at Jumbo's Clown Room.

<![CDATA[Abigail Breslin, Keeping It On The Straight And Narrow]]>

boomp3.com

Little Miss Sunshine herself, Abigail Breslin, made a pledge in a ceremony yesterday afternoon that she will not become another Lindsay Lohan, nor will she write and perform weird poems like Leelee Sobieski. She also explained that she would avoid getting Gary Busey-esque caps on her teeth like Hannah Montana, and that she would do her best to avoid becoming whatever Tatum O'Neal became. Breslin then promised that she'd at least try to make the successful transition from child actor to adulthood like Jodie Foster, but was overheard admitting to close friends afterwards that there's a good chance that she could become the next Kristy McNichol.

<![CDATA[Ali Lohan May Have Gone Under The Knife At 14; Color Us Unsurprised]]> Is Ali Lohan's new look just a matter of spiffing up her hair and makeup for the Living Lohan camera crew, or could she be the latest victim of Ashlee Simpson Syndrome? As you'll recall, Ashlee wasn't able to escape the shadow of her big sister until she went under the knife, and now it appears that lil' Lohan might be following her lead. Some recent shots of her out and about on the red carpet show a nearly unrecognizable version of her former clean-faced, mousy-haired, age-appropriate self. After the jump, we took a look at a few before and after shots to try and figure out if Ali's new hotness is the result of a knife or if she just found herself one hell of a hairdresser.

Here's Ali last year, avoiding too much makeup, and letting her hair hang long and straight:
alithen.jpg

And here's Ali this week, premiering new bangs, smokey eyes, Sunset Tan skin, and noticeably plumper lips:
alinow.jpg

Putting aside the aesthetic differences, the fact we find most distressing is how much she's starting to resemble big sis Lindsay. However, it's important to note that Lindsay didn't transform into a dark haired, attitude laden diva until she was nearly 18 years old. We fear Lindsay's distance from Momager/Pimp Dina has resulted in Ali becoming White Oprah's new pet project. What's next, veneers and butt implants for Cody once Ali's been in and out of the revolving rehab door a few times too many?

In a moment of clearly born out of tween rebellion and defiance, Tallulah Belle Willis rushed the paparazzi shouting: "Look at me! Look at me! I have toxic blood and I use leeches to heal myself! Look at me! Look at me! I can't be a normal mom so I have to take a bath in turpentine! Look at me!" Then her mother quickly pulled Tallulah Belle aside, less-than-calmly explaining that young ladies who behave like this way don't get to visit the set of the new High School Musical.

Megan Fox, seen here wearing the standard young actress uniform (giant sunglasses, designer sweat pants, Uggs, hand bag that's bigger than an infant), demanded that she be whisked through the security screening process at LAX. The TSA employees shrugged their shoulders and allowed Fox through the line. During the screening process, a TSA employee told Fox that LC and her should treat Heidi better, while another chipped in to explain why she hopes that she doesn't get back with Justin Bobby on the new season of The Hills.

While Kate Hudson may commit the most heinous of all fashion crimes by making her son Ryder wear Crocs, she still takes her son to all the hip playgrounds while keeping it green. Hudson also let her son eat ice cream whenever he wants and stay up as late as he wants as long as he listens to "IV" by Led Zeppelin twice a day and watch one episode of "Go, Diego, Go".

<![CDATA[Is Kate Moss' Newest Boy Toy Just Pete Doherty 2.0?]]> Sad news for Kate Moss-aholics out there: the controversially hot-or-not former supermodel is engaged to another dirty-looking rocker, Jamie Hince, guitarist for The Kills. Judging by her former paramours, like Johnny Depp, Lemonheads frontman Evan Dando and our all-time favorite kitten-loving junkie, Pete Doherty, it's no surprise that W's April cover girl has fallen for another rough-around-the-edges bad boy. But must he look like such an eerie cross-breed of Pete and Amy Winehouse's Romeo, Blake Fielder-Civil? And more importantly, why does Kate insist on slobbering all over his neck? More pictures of the two new lovebirds, and what the notoriously vicious British tabloids have deemed Kate's vampire-like behavior, after the jump.

News broke of Moss and Hince's engagement in October, and while a date has yet to be set, the lovebirds have been spotted in How Dare You! paparazzi photos recently, as Moss feigns shock and disgust upon spotting shutterbugs capturing her unbridled love on camera. First, the two were caught dining outdoors in full view of passersby...
kate2.jpg

And then paps saw the (shocked and annoyed!) pair out and about on the streets of London at night, seemingly in the middle of an argument. We suspect Jamie was taunting Kate for wearing that same damn fur coat she used to swish around with during her Petey days...
kate3.jpg

And finally, the "vampire" photo in question, which, in our humble and not so modest opinion, looks like an innocent slip of the tongue on what most women's magazines will have you know is an "erotic zone" or some such rubbish like that. But can Kate's impressive tongue, drama-filled street fights and erratic choice in boyfriends really result in a fairy tale come true this time? We'll be keeping our ears peeled in between practicing Kate's oral maneuver on various aghast randos this week:

<![CDATA[Patrick Swayze Not Having The Time Of His Life, Having A Cigarette Instead]]> When we watched the last season of The Sopranos, we remember watching Johnny Sack freely smoke cigarettes in his hospital gown despite having terminal cancer and feeling completely indifferent. One more of Tony's adversaries going down in a puff of smoke was, in the context of the show, actually something to smile about. But seeing the cancer-stricken visage of Patrick Swayze doing the same thing? Frankly, it guts us. At this point, we're not sure whether to watch the last scene of Dirty Dancing over and over again while fighting back tears or to hop a plane to wherever Swayze is at the moment and personally pluck the cig from his lips. Seen here post-diagnosis, it seems Swayze just can't kick the habit, no matter how brutal it is on his body:

"Pals say he can't quit smoking despite it being linked to a third of pancreatic cancers...Patrick's wife Lisa, 51, is liquidising high-fat dinners as he is having trouble keeping down solid foods."

So Swayze can't keep down food, but he's still smoking? As, ahem, sometimes-smokers ourselves, that's plenty of incentive for us to quit smoking forever cut down a bit. And, as you might expect, Tom Cruise found a way to insert himself into the situation. Surprisingly, though, he resisted the urge to tear into a propaganda-laced diatribe; , instead, he issued this statement about his co-star from The Outsiders: "We are all praying for a quick recovery." Us, too. Put down the smokey treats, Patrick ... we're all pulling for you.

<![CDATA[John Mayer Harnesses The Power Of The Internet To Lash Out At A Clingy Ex]]> First John Mayer started to grow on us (a little bit) with his skills handling the TMZ paparazzi and voracious autograph seekers, then he won us over (okay, a lot) when we saw him jogging on a yacht wearing green Borat butt floss tightly wound across his nearly perfect buttocks. And now, having penned a giant Fuck You to one of his exes online, he's officially convinced us that we were correct in falling head over heels for the guy after witnessing his rendition of "Chocolate Rain" on Best Week Ever. But back to the story at hand! Earlier this week, John had the following to say to Jessica Simpson one of his anonymous ex-girlfriends:

"Dear Ex Lover. Perhaps you didn't understand the last time I told you to stop contacting me, so I'll do my best to spell it out for you. I do not wish to have you in my life anymore. I don't know how much more clear I can be about it. It would serve you best to move on with your life and find someone who can put up with you, because I'm done trying."

After news of this message landed his name on the gossip pages today, Mayer has done an about face and is now currently claiming that the online passive aggression wasn't an actual Fuck You to an actual person, but merely "a writing technique called 'deceptive resolution'...I call it 'I wish you were here so I could tell you to leave.'" Gee, thanks for clearing that up for us! And, in turn, we thank you for officially making us think you're simply the kinda hot famewhore with one hell of an O Face we always suspected you were.
